Summary
A riveting tale of battle and adventure in a brutal land, where loyalty and courage are constantly challenged and the enemy is never far away.
Jack Lark barely survived the Battle of the Alma. As the brutal fight raged, he discovered the true duty that came with the officer's commission he'd taken. In hospital, wounded, and with his stolen life left lying on the battlefield, he grasps a chance to prove himself a leader once more.
Poor Captain Danbury is dead, but Jack will travel to his new regiment in India, under his name. Jack soon finds more enemies, but this time they're on his own side.
Exposed as a fraud, he's rescued by the chaplain's beautiful daughter, who has her own reasons to escape. They seek desperate refuge with the Maharajah of Sawadh, the charismatic leader whom the British Army must subdue. He sees Jack as a curiosity, but recognises a fellow military mind. In return for his safety, Jack must train the very army the British may soon have to fight....

Underwhelming
Wouldn’t bother. Not terrible but nothing to rave about. Epilogue of the last 6 minutes was my favourite.

tense
almost a thriller I felt so tense. excellent story strong characters as our demi-hero embarks on another deception but this time is found out early, strange to say I like his honesty, and human emotions are well explained to situation like social-psychology

great story
the second adventure of Jack's. story is Lacey and absorbing. I am not so convinced that the narration is quite what it should be somehow.

Surprising gripping
With admirable attention to histrical detail whilst using his tried and tested impersonation back story the whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable. Looks like I'm hooked on the series

Decent listen
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would, just about
If you’ve listened to books by Paul Fraser Collard before, how does this one compare?
Really enjoyed the first book but this isn't as good, or as original. Part Zulu, part Mills and Boon I think the author could have done better with the storyline. The fight scenes are very well-written but the constant enforcing the of view that all British officers were stupid and/or cowards became rather tedious in the end. I'll buy the next book to see where he takes us but hoping for an effort more like the first adventure.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Performance was good, not sure about all the accents but it's not easy

Brain dead
Let's see, you've got pompous ineffective English officers, (expect for our hero), cowardly clergyman, feisty English lass, noble Maharaja, and stalwart sepoys. If I've missed a stereotype the author didn't. I saw no reason to finish it because I've read countless better-written versions. If you're expecting Sharpe, don't

Dreadful
So bad I couldn't believe it A book written by a ten year old boy without an editor. Complete rubbish. Also a poor reader but, to be fair even Tim Piggot Smith couldn't make a silk purse out of this pigs ear.
